This can be very well explained with a example, if we flow the water with a very narrow pipe, water clearing all the hindrances will flow through it, but if we do the same action with thick syrup its flow will become slow.
Same things occur in nerves in diabetes, due to increase in sugar level in blood. During diabetes the abnormal blood flows throughout the body and affects the parts of the body. Same thing is with eye’s nerves and it affects retina which is called as diabetic retinopathy
